Abstract
This chapter introduces the theoretical framework for the work presented in this thesis. The Standard Model (SM) particles will be introduced before building the SM from symmetry arguments. Deficiencies of the SM will be described before introducing supersymmetry as a proposed solution to the open questions of the SM. The formalism presented summarizes the following books by Thomson [1], Langacker [2], Schwartz [3], Halzen [4], and Georgi [5].
